engineers developed two approaches to stormwater infrastructure to transport water away from the urban environment. one approach was to carry waste and stormwater through the same pipe. this combined system was less expensive than building two individual pipe networks. and stormwater was seen as a way to flush out the sewers. through the 19th century, the combined system was considered state-of-the-art throughout the world, and is still in use in many cities today. but cities constructed these systems before treatment was the standard. and even today's largest treatment plant doesn't have the capacity to treat the sudden volumes of water rushing through a combined system during rain. the plant is overloaded, and the excess rainwater, mixed with untreated raw sewage, is diverted straight into local waterways, creating a combined sewer overflow, or cso. there are over 700 communities in the united states with combined sewer systems. the other approach was to separate wastewater from stormwater, using two pipe networks. this separate system simply carries the stormwater away from the city. but even s

narrator: los angeles county is beginning to develop ways to reduce the infrastructure's impact upon the environment. on the front lines of protecting the beaches, are the crews that clean out the stormwater system. man: this big vactor truck works on the same principle as your vacuum cleaner in your house, only this thing sucks up the whole house. some of the storm drains collect a lot of trash. i started cleaning drains in '93. they were horrible because they hadn't been maintained so much. now this is a priority. you have trash, animal waste, and it ends up on our beaches. that is a health risk. that is one of the main reasons why we have to close the beaches after heavy rain. narrator: but even when it's not raining, water still enters the stormwater system, carrying pollutants. here on the west coast, a lot of our storm drain systems are separate from the sanitary sewer system, so if you dump something in the storm drain, it goes right to the ocean untreated. alamillo: we haven't had a major rainstorm in the last year or so yet there's a lot of water in this creek here. i would say 20% of it is

a lot of different environments they are built into. if you fit a curve or trendline, the red and yellow lines would summarize the average premium by each of those. if you look specifically at those areas that are urban, you throw out some of the alabama wires and some of the areas that are suburban or you might have a binary situation, no transit before, and some places like san diego light rail is like that. actually, the premium is a little bit mitigated. this graph shows a look closer to the assumptions that we are making throughout the rest of the study when you throw out some of the l. ayers and those that do not compare to the environment we have in san francisco. when you did all those studies and you drill down those that most of parable, the most analogous locations to the city we have, you look at the table in the bottom right in you see the 3% range all the way up to numbers around 10% and higher. when we look at the city of san francisco indian burn me -- and the environment we have around the transit terminal, we already h
